| ♥♥♥♥♥ | THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE & COHERENT VIDEO ABOUT THE MANY BATTLES FOR GUADALCANAL |
| IN A NUTSHELL:
Broken into 18 chapters which play for almost 3 hours, the numerous land and naval battles on and around Guadalcanal in 1942-1943 are closely examined. 'Guadalcanal: The Island of Death' uses narration by Dale Reed, interviews and commentary by several historians and a half dozen American combatants, combined with maps, time-lines and very applicable real war footage from the battles. Presented in chronlogical order with graphics, strategic maps and film from the actual events it is possible to grasp the immense and varied struggles that went on fiercely for 6 months. Furthermore, the veterans of the battle are each from a completely different branch of the service which allows for a more balanced collective viewpoint. There is a 'Sea-bee', a 'Medic', a 'Navy Pilot', a 'P.T. Boat Crewman', an 18 year old [1942] 'Marine', all with different stories to tell and all somehow aid in making what happened more comprehensible. ---> CHAPTERS 1-PESTILENCE 2-WATCHTOWER 3-FIRST OFFENSIVE 4-THE BATTLE OF SAVO ISLAND 5-FIRST DAYS ASHORE 6-THE TENARU 7-THE BATTLE OF THE EASTERN SOLOMONS 8-BOREDOM & FEAR 9-THE BATTLE OF EDSON'S RIDGE 10-MATANIKAU RIVER ACTIONS 11-THE BATTLE OF CAPE ESPERANCE 12-THE BOMBARDMENT 13-THE BATTLE FOR HENDERSON FIELD 14-THE BATTLE OF THE SANTA CRUZ ISLANDS 15-ACTIONS AT POINT CRUZ & KOLI POINT 16-THE NAVAL BATTLE OF GUADALCANAL 17-THE SECOND NAVAL BATTLE OF GUADALCANAL 18-THE FINAL PUSH SPECIAL FEATURE: 'INTERACTIVE TIMELINE OF MAJOR EVENTS' [21 minutes] from May 1942 - February 1943 BOTTOM LINE: VERY EASY TO FOLLOW FOR SO COMPLEX A STORY Reminiscent of 'The World At War' in style and content, this single DVD gives a 3 hour treatment devoted entirely to the battles on the ground, the air, and the sea for the possession of a strategically situated deserted island in the South Pacific -- Guadalcanal. |
